What is an enterprise agreement?
Generally speaking, an enterprise agreement is between one or more national system employers and their employees, as specified in the agreement. Enterprise agreements are negotiated by the parties through collective bargaining in good faith, primarily at the enterprise level. Under the Fair Work Act 2009, an enterprise can mean any kind of business, activity, project or undertaking.

EBAs in Workbench
Enterprise Bargaining Agreements (EBA’s) provide the rules for the conversion of the number of hours worked by an Employee into the number of hours paid plus allowances, and the associated Standard Rate for that paid time or allowance per Employee. The The rules applied in EBA Profiles can be simple or complicated, often resulting in situations where there is an inevitable manual input to the system for some uncommon combinations and requirements. Workbench has the ability to group multiple profiles into EBA Schemes, which are then applied on a job-by-job basis.
It is important to note that, while the EBA module is part of Workbench's payroll process, it is not a payroll software itself. Rates of pay and allowances are contained in the payroll software, and Workbench's role is to convey the quantities of each payroll code to that software.
The Time and Allowances captured in Workbench are costed to the Job on a Standard Cost basis. This costing takes place in real time for an entered timesheet line. Note that this costing is NOT typically the rate that the Employee is paid per hour. This Standard Costing is normally a composite cost comprised of a wage band cost plus some other recoveries for holiday pay, sick pay, overhead, etc. This subject is detailed elsewhere in the Workbench documentation under Employee Classes.

Process Overview
All EBA calculations are done on an individual's /wiki/spaces/WEBWBTIME/overview Timesheet, either daily, weekly, or mobile entry methods.

To decide whether to bill EBA generated Payroll transactions or not, use the attribute on the job's Charge Type called "Billing from EBA".
When this attribute is ticked:
the EBA/Payroll transactions are displayed in Get Sales.
The Price Code rules on the Job will be applied to the EBA/Payroll transactions to calculate the selling price.

Any manual additions to timesheets will not be included in the payroll output until the EBA Interpreter is run over them, including leave. Running the interpreter multiple times will replace previously generated payroll lines with new ones. |
